AN: In this chapter, I make up a species of magical animals. Kay? I already know, it's not really in the books. Thanks.
Blaise smirked when he saw Neville in the Hallway, and Neville looked at him confused. Neville attempted to avoid him by walking the other way, because if he didn't he might get hexed. That's what happened the last time a Slytherin had smirked at him.
"Woah! Wait up, Longbottom,"the Zabini boy said before stepping in front of the Gryffindor. Blaise stuck his hand in front of Neville so that he couldn't even attempt to continue walking.
"Shit," Neville muttered, before looking up at Blaise. "What do you want?" Neville asked, hoping that it wasn't anything that would be too horrible.
The smirking Slytherin only said, "See, It's not what I want. It's what... a friend wants." Blaise continued, "She really likes you, but the only issue is that at the same time she hates you."
Neville looked at him and with a hint of annoyance in his voice he said, "I honestly could care less what a friend of someone like you would want."
A cackle escaped the other boy's mouth and he said, "See, the thing is, you can't do anything about it. She likes you, and until she realizes how much of a failure you are, she won't stop." Blaise then continued and said, "See, I need you to go on a date with her-"
Glaring, Neville said, "I really don't want to go on a date with anyone who will kill me."
Blaise then said, "They won't if they like you."
"Judging by what you have just told me, it is impossible for anyone to like me. Just leave me alone," and with that, Neville shoved past Blaise and continued to walk down the hall.
Blaise decided to follow Neville, and then he said, "I don't think I will now." "What is there not to like about her? Money, and... money... and... she has a face," Blaise said attempting to think of positive characteristics of Sky.
Neville looked up at Blaise and said, "Adie is dating Malfoy. Clearly she doesn't like me. If it is Pansy, you could just consider that the dumbest idea I have ever heard escape from your mouth. If it is Sky, I must say that she is easilly irritated. If it is Astoria or Daphne, the only thing I can say is that they have never said one word to me."
Blaise laughed and said, "The funny thing it is one of the people you said. Even though I can't technically tell you who it is, Draco never said I couldn't say yes or no."
"If it was Adie, Malfoy wouldn't know. Clearly it's not Astoria or Daphne. So it's either Pansy or Sky, considering they both hate me, it could be either," Neville said, and then remembered what started this conversation. "I will never even consider going on a date with them, especially after he suggested."
Confused Blaise said, "Why would you not go on a date with Sky?"
"Leave me alone and stop messing with me, Blaise."
"I'm not messing with you! It's Sky!"
Sky passed down the hallway to see Blaise and Neville talking. When he heard Blaise said "It's Sky!", she darted down the hall towards the two and attacked Blaise.
"You little shit!" she yelled, and then she hit him in the face with her books. "I can't believe you!"
Blaise tried to push Sky off him, but it wasn't working. She continued to claw at his skin and beat him repeatedly. Blaise then got out his wand and shot a curse, which sent Sky flying through the air and made her smash her head on the side of a bench.
Sky got out her wand and pointed it at her housemate. "Petrificus Totalus!"
Blaise froze and fell to the floor with a thud. The teachers and first years had started to gather, and Snape snatched Sky's arm and began to walk with her away. Many first years stared at them until they were out of eyesight, and Professor Sprout noticed cuts and bruises along Blaise's face, so she attempted to take him to the hospital wing. Meanwhile, Neville had managed to slowly back away and escape from the scene.
Snape sat Sky down in a chair in Dumbledore's office. "Professor, she has recently attacked Blaise Zabini using both muggle and wizarding ways."
Dumbledore looked at her and questioned, "What do you mean, Severus?"
"She beat Blaise with her books, and she used Petrificus Totalus on him," the greasy haired professor said with a snarl. "She could be expelled for this," he said looking at the girl in the other chair.
A sigh escaped Dumbledore's mouth and he said, "But she won't be. Miss Malfoy, would you mind explaining to us why you did this?"
She shifted awkwardly in her seat, and remained silent. "She has no reason, sir," Snape said, before looking at the teenager.
"Yes, I do," she said. The two looked at her and she said, "First of all, Blaise told one of my biggest secrets. Blaise isn't even supposed to know, but Draco leaked it out."
Snape said, "That gave her no reason to attack him."
Dumbledore said, "That depends on the situation, Severus."
Sky sighed and slammed her face down on Dumbledore's desk. "I don't want him in here," she moaned as she pointed to Snape. He simply stood up and exited the room.
The headmaster smiled and held up a small jar. "Care for a lemon drop?" he asked. When Sky looked confused, he continued, "They are a muggle candy, I am quite fond of them." Sky only shook her head, and stared around the room. "Well, what was your secret that was so important to you?" Dumbledore asked again.
"It was..." Sky didn't understand why she was so nervous now. "I like someone I'm not supposed to," she said, trying her hardest not to say who.
Dumbledore said, "Is that all? It doesn't seem very reasonable."
She shook her head and said, "He was telling, loudly. This probably wasn't the first time he told. He also cast a spell on me first, which really hurt. I did hurt him first, but he hurt me too. It's just the way he hurt me was more... mental than physical."
A smile on Dumbledore's face appeared and he said, "teen love. We always have one of these big problems every year. Eventually when you are older you will realize it wasn't as important as it seems now."
Sky shook her head and mumbled, "If my parents found out, they might disown me. You don't understand. I have to make this decision now, because if the word gets around, which it already is, I'm dead."
Dumbledore sighed and said, "I think Professor Snape could actually help you with this issue a lot more than you think. He isn't easy to get to open up, but he might be if I can convince him. However, this means you can't go telling a soul about you even talking with him."
Sky nodded and said with a sigh, "Okay, Professor. Thanks."
The professor smiled and said, "Are you sure you don't want a lemon drop?"
The Slytherin nodded before exiting. She walked to Care of Magical Creatures to see that Blaise was back, but he had a few bandages on his face. He glared over at Sky, and Theodore did as well.
Draco whispered to Sky after class began, "I can't believe you beat him up." Sky's only response was to ease away from Draco slowly, and at one point she tripped over someone's bag.
The girl toppled on top of a cage with a worm-like creature. When she did, it got unlatched and it began to slither around and gnarl at students. A green foam started to ooze out of it's mouth, and Hagrid finally got the creature back into it's cage.
Sky backed away from the cage and said, "Sorry."
Pansy then yelled out from the small group of Slytherins and said, "Now she has moved on from attacking boys to cages!" A lot of people started laughing, but Sky felt a pain growing inside of her body that she knew all too well. It was embarrassment.
"Quiet down! Now you know the thing not to do around Karms," Hagrid said. "Don't make sudden movements. If you see green pouring from their mouth, that means they are scared. It is their way to scare of prey," he said.
Sky stood at the back of the class and guessed that she could easily leave, just by backing out slowly from the room. Then Hagrid said, "Your homework for tonight is to research other things that happen to Karms if they get angry. Class dismissed."
